Hi Giangiorgio,

 

once again you have managed to capture a decisive moment in the world of birds in a way most photographers only dream of. The square composition with its symmetry makes the viewer concentrate on what's happening, with beautiful warm morning light against a dark background. Into my favorites! Kind regards, Vincent

Fabilous shot, Giangiorgio! Best, Tina
